Stop Working Hard and Grow Money on Trees

For the average person today, getting ahead financially seems like an almost impossible feat. It’s difficult for many to envision ever escaping the rat race when the cost of living is so high and wages are so low. Seeing no way out, most just suck it up and push through, trying to make the “best of it” the only way they know how – by working harder.
WORKING HARD DOESN’T WORK
The problem with this approach is that the rules of money have changed, and working hard simply doesn’t work anymore. Most people have no idea that the rules of money have changed and that they are being penalized for playing by the old rules. Working hard used to work. Saving money used to work. However, after the rules changed in 1971, working hard and saving money progressively makes you poorer.
Because of a lack of financial education, a number of people find themselves metaphorically attempting to push a boulder up the side of a hill. A very few might make it, but for the majority the hill wins. This is what life is like today for those who don’t have a financial education and choose to play by the old rules and work hard.
The new rules require that your money work hard for you, instead of you working hard for money. You can look at this as “growing money on trees.” The rich don’t work hard for money. The rich have their money grow on trees, and so should you!
WORK TO ACCUMULATE ASSETS
The rich work to accumulate assets. In very simple terms, assets are things that place money in your pocket. Some examples are businesses, stocks, real estate, and precious metals. When we speak of growing money on trees, the asset is represented by the tree. Whether it is a business, real estate, stocks, or precious metals, the tree – as an asset – represents something that places money in your pocket.
How the asset performs is represented by its quality of DIRT. DIRT stands for debt, inflation, retirement, and taxes.
IT’S ABOUT HAVING GOOD DIRT
Having a sound financial education provides you the ability to increase the amount of money that goes into your pocket because of a high quality of DIRT. The poor and middle class suffer due to a lack of financial education. This is why they end up deeply in debt, destroyed by inflation, sold the riskiest of investments, and paying the highest in taxes.
Playing by the old rules is a losing proposition and dangerous! Learn to have your money work hard for you. Learn to grow your money on trees through assets – just like the rich.
